Sweet condolences;

May 18, 2009
Dear Sandi, Jim, Jenny, Julie, Bobbi and Scott,I was so saddend by the news of Jessie's passing. So many fond memories of family gatherings, Camelot, camping fun times together and just knowing all of you was a great blessing for Wes and me. I know John and grandma Vera are elated to have her home with them. No sickness or pain, just complete happiness. I will be able to walk when my turn comes. It's comforting to know we will be together again. Jessie was such a sweet young woman. She always mothered her two younger sisters. May God bless and comort you right now and know that it's the beginning of wonderful things for Jessie. In God's eternal time, we are only here for a short time, and then the joy begins. We send you each our sincere love always.Wes and Sharon RossBrigham City, Utahwestonandsharonross@comcast.net

Family of Jessica-being at the service today made me see just how much Jessica was loved by so many and how selfless she was with her concern for all those suffering in her honor. When I met Sandi and Julie at the hospital I immediately felt welcome and like I was a part of the family. Her family should take great pride in the person she was.I will miss her smile at the Rec and think of her always.

Jenny, Julie and Sandi,My heart is breaking for your loss, but you know she is free from the sickness and pain.I admire the love and support you gave her for the last few months, spending so much time with her at the Hospital and then at home keeping her comfortable and happy.Jenny, thank your for bringing Jessie into our lives. Family gatherings will not be quite the same. I wish we could have heard her play the piano and sing.

I met Jessica while working at the REC (post office). After I left the REC, I kept bumping into her, the last was in a Target. I admired her great sense of humor and her strength. She was an angel while she was among us, as I'm sure she is now in heaven. I wish her family and friends love and peace as we say goodbye to a truly special person.

Sweet Jessie,It seems like yesterday we shared that silly apartment. Sconecutter and a movie on the couch. You are going to be greatly missed. You taught me and so many people so much. Life seems so different to me now knowing how hard you fought. Your sister Jenny is right. The world would be a much better place if everyone had your will. I love you so much and we will pray for your family. All of our love.

Jessica, It gives me comfort and peace in knowing that you are better than you have ever been now. You have always been a woman that possessed massive amounts of courage, strength, sympathy and empathy. Those traits were always obvious, but in the last few months, they were solid. What a teacher you are to all that know and love you. You are to me. Thank you for all the memories. We have many that span over 20 years. I love you and it strengthens me to know that we will meet again. I will carry you in my heart for the rest of my days. I love you. How about coming to Italy and Greece with me? ;)Jenny, Julie, Sandy and family- You are AMAZING people. What a lucky person Jessica is to have had you walk this life with her. Your love and devotion is truly inspirational.

Jessie,A beautiful woman who touched so many lives. It says to share a memory; The first thing that popped into my head was the vision of Jessie as a little girl, at one of the many parties we had with the extended family at her mom's house and Jessie running around with that big beautiful smile and all that HAIR piled wildly on top of her head. Grandpa must have needed his little princess to hang out with in Heaven. I know your running again, with that wild hair blowing in the wind and that big smile upon your face. A memory I will never forget. I love you.

You have been such an inspiration to my and my boys, we will always strive to have the courage you have showed us all. Give dad, grandpa and great grandma hugs for us all. There will forever be a hole in my heart, and I will think of you always. We love and miss you deeply.
